Story

Feminine in appearance, this 14k-15k yellow gold floral cluster ring has all the desired trappings.

Open work shoulders are each set with an additional emerald. All gems are set closed back. Ornately designed sides and shank display sensual curves and delightful patterns. The interior of the ring reveals a glass covered locket back.

Date: Circa 1850.

Important: This ring should not be in water for an extended period nor exposed to any other liquids, cleaning products or harsh chemicals. If considering as an engagement ring, please keep this in mind.
